Imagining our Future with Water | Jared Bramblett | TEDxCharleston

Flooding is escalating: solutions are daunting. Jared, engineer and expert on issues relating to flood mitigation, sees the need for increasing collective awareness on sea-level rise impact and modifying approaches to accelerating risks. Jared is a professional engineer with over 13 years of experience working with public and private sector clients throughout the southeast. His technical work primarily includes stormwater master plans, watershed assessments, flood mitigation and drainage improvement projects, green infrastructure design, and resilient projects and programs. Jared is also a photographer and has been documenting Charleston’s complex relationship with water over the past several years.
Jared is active in Charleston’s resilience and engineering communities. He recently participated in the Dutch DialoguesTM Charleston, which was a “collaborative effort bringing together national and international water experts working alongside Charleston’s local teams to conceptualize a Living With WaterTM future.” He served on Charleston County’s Resilient Element Task Force, which studied and recommended resilience strategies to be incorporated into the County’s Comprehensive Plan. . This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
